It would be but perhaps the owners want a safe pair of hands, especially with Shakey as part of the deal. If we can't get Potter then any other appointment will be a risk and King Power might not be ready for another one after what their business has gone through.

He'd had a clean slate, a proper budget for the Championship and a squad that he could build from the ground up. The chance to rise more organically with one club with proven recent success rather than having to jump from Swansea to Brighton to Chelsea. A brand new world class training ground with the chance to fix it and put his own identity to it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What actually makes Smith a safe pair of hands? Is he just the newer breed of Big Sam/Hughes/Pardew/Bruce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a major appointment if we did pull it off . 100% he may feel that he has the space here with a small existing squad to build something. Going into a full PL set up means you have to pretty much work with what is there. That may not suit what he wants to do. the only problem I could see with potter here is that the mass of the fanbase who became bored with Brendan’s controlling football won’t like him (they wouldn’t like kompany either on the same basis.) I would be delighted to see a squad able to play like brightons but I think I’m in a minority because to get to that stage requires us to put up with a longish period of dullness.

Popular Post Bilo Posted 2 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 2 June 2023 It's March 2024. After Leicester's 2-1 defeat at Sunderland brought to an end their 14 game winning run and cut their lead at the top of the SkyBet Championship to 18 points, FoxesTalk members have called for Potter to be sacked and replaced with Neil Warnock, currently at 18th placed Huddersfield. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DezFox Posted 2 June 2023 Share Posted 2 June 2023 Potter is not coming, haha it will be smith. We all secretly know it. Good for the board though if Leicester fans think they have tried for Potter. Very clever really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannythefox Posted 2 June 2023 Share Posted 2 June 2023 Give potter what he wants which will be far less than Rodger’s was on. We’ll never pay a manager 10m a yr at this club again. It’s a very good job but we need to get the appointment right and have a two year plan to get us out the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stopharage Posted 2 June 2023 Share Posted 2 June 2023 Being critical of a Potter appointment because of what De Zerbi has subsequently done is madness. Pearson laid the foundations for Ranieri, as Potter did for De Zerbi. He’d be an ideal appointment. He’d also go some way to making the most out of Seagrave and our academy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXSE Posted 2 June 2023 Share Posted 2 June 2023 I don't know what the split actually is, but there are always decent percentages for anyone we are linked with as follows: 30%He is crap (he has been living off that ballon d'or for the last two years!) 40% He would be a great signing, just what we need 30% we are the sh#ttest club ever, why would they even consider coming here? There is that 27 year old in league 2 who has been tearing it up, we should get them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted 2 June 2023 Share Posted 2 June 2023 Potter would need some pretty heavy assurances about the quality of the player we were going to bring in. All he has to do is look at our recruitment and he can tell it won't be up to the standard he'd expect. No chance of this one happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Fresh Posted 2 June 2023 Share Posted 2 June 2023 1 hour ago, Stadt said: Potter's sides are a bit of a one trick pony, probably good enough to get out of the championship but his Swansea side didn't;t pull up any trees, even if he there was a huge turnover of staff. At Brighton they never made good on their promise under him, De Zerbi showed what that squad was capable of. Said this so many times but anyone that gets Ollie McBurnie bagging 20 odd goals is a miracle worker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
